I've heard figures quoted for annual or seasonal, but never with sources quoted. So if you know the plan is to get down to a level, what is that level?
I should of probably said infection rates - r value.Last edited by dx4100; 13 May 2020, 00:15.Comment

With contact tracing and restrictions of varying degrees we should be able to keep the r rate under 1 which is less than flu which runs around 1 to 2 for seasonal flu.
Remember if we are controlling Covid we are by the same course of actions impacting flu so the r value of flu would be decreased below it’s normal level as well.Last edited by dx4100; 12 May 2020, 23:54.Comment

I'm just trying to find out - it's not a trick question!
If a politician has said that they want it to get down to about the same level as the flu, then it would be good to hear what value they think that is and if they put any clarification around it.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
